OK this leaves me wide open for a Fonz award.
Today I decided to shorten and refletch some 470 aces, I stripped them down to bare shafts and carefully cut 5/8" off the front. I then rebuilt the arrows. As I was putting them in my arrow case, ready for a tourney on Sunday, I noticed to my horror that the logo was the wrong way round. Yeah I'd somehow turned the bare shafts around on the bench cut from the back instead of the front,fitted the points in,what should be the back and fletched the front.
B&%%*?&s.
The arrows were on the weak side so cutting from the back was not the disaster it could have been, any way I decided to try them as they were (fletched and pointed at the wrong ends) at 30m. Suprise of suprises they grouped tighter than I can normally group them, better still the bare shaft was smack in the centre of the group. Now I'm tempted to use them in the tourney on Sunday but will I have a nasty shock when it comes to the sighters at 100yds? The only difference I can see is that the barrelled section is now about 1" nearer the front than the back. the oppersite to the norm. Won't be able to shoot at distance before the tourney and I have a spare set of arrows so I'm not too worried. But am I likely to see some dramatic aeronautics at 100yds Anyone any idea? Would appreciate your imput Joe.
